The Chicago Bears entered Monday Night Football down three of their top defensive starters against the Minnesota Vikings. One of the more underrated linebackers in the league, TJ Edwards, was one of them.
In his place was third-year pro Noah Sewell, a fifth-round pick by the Bears out of Oregon back in 2023.
It was abundantly apparent, after just one drive, that Sewell was going to make the most of his opportunity to start next to Tremaine Edmunds. From the get-go, Sewell was all over the field. On almost every run play on the Vikings' first few drives, Sewell either making the tackle or near the pile at the end of the play.
